Tafelmusik offers us the opportunity to listen to the music of Georg Philipp Telemann and of Michel Richard Delalande played by 9 musicians either in the context of a concert, but in the form of living paintings.
Five paintings, compounds for instrumental training with variable geometry, invite you on a journey where fantasy is the order of the day. Central and no longer simply illustrative, music then becomes the main engine of the action and movements of the musicians, it is the common thread of the scenography and the narration. The harpsichord becomes mobile as if by magic thanks to the scenography of Eric Soyer, these paintings embody the dreams of the harpsichordist. Instigator, she injects energy into the musicians and brings them into her sonic and pictorial reveries, from a rural atmosphere to a sea ride through a royal night and a sunrise embellished with a few pranks. The articulation between each painting occurs through a scenic metamorphosis, animated by the dramatic power of light, while the musical transitions promote plays of sounds and silences evoking the marine universe, familiar with Telemann, citizen of a port city, or more abstract sound elements leaving the field open to the imagination.
